xbox live only works on bband, fail.

also, anyone who asks which console has more online games, cube or xbox, shouldn't be posting on an intarweb forum, seriously >_>

Gamecube has the most online game so far in this generation.
So you're better off sticking with GC.
Nintendo made a pretty cool deal for online gamers, and it's pretty sweet. Only 50 dollars (Australian, so around 70 bucks in the US) for a subscription, and it's good for 2 years with the current deal.
Just buy the broadband modem, jack into the main nintendo online hub and away you go!

At least this is what i would probably be saying if Nintendo HAD an online plan for the GC.

I was just reading Termin8's post, thinking "WTF is he on about?"
Then PUNCHLINE'D!!!

If your a Mario Kart nut, you could play online through Warp Pipe. It supports other games as well, but also needs a broadband adapter to get running.

Online games don't interest me THAT much, except that I think an Animal Crossing game online would be cool. Travelling and trading was so much of a hassle in the old one.

But wait........how would that work? Like, what if someone was visiting your town and you shut your GC off? What would......erm..............happen? I don't know much about this interweb stuffs so please enlighten me on how they would be able to get it to work.

Bah. In the news today, Metroid Masked fails at the internet!

I'm not much of a fan of online gaming myself, but I have to say, Pokemon would make the PERFECT MMORPG. It's almost as if it were meant to be one all along.

Nintendo should have made this a LONG time ago.
But then it wouldn't have had the proper tools to do so: Online capabilities, Massive Lands to roam, Heaps of wild pokemon.

If they do, don't make it that you HAVE to have a GBA game to play.
Make it so that if you do have pokemon, that you can transfer them into the 3D Pokemon and battle with them with real people online.

I like having real-time battles when it comes to having Pokemon 3D. Imagine seeing the head of a Bayleaf sticking out of the grass! Imagine seeing a whole flock of Pidgey in a tree! What if you tried to capture one of them? They would all come down and try to peck you!
You shouldn't have a life meter; this should be purely anime

If you get burned, you simply become char-grilled human, like Ash everytime Charizard does a flamethrower.
Then imagine taking the time off to have a swim, and seeing dozens of Lapras playing near you!

The possibilities for this game are endless, and so I doubt Nintendo would incorporate EVERYTHING into it.

According to an artricle on the inquirer, Microsoft will charge 5 british pounds for xbox live, per month. That is up from 40 pounds a year. So looks like xbox live in the US will be costing around 70 dollars a year now, maybe more. Ouch.

Ymeegod · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2004, 02:05:21 PM »

Yeah, if you pay per month :0.

MS gives you a discount if you buy the annual rate.

What, are you saying that we are kIdDeH cause we don't know the actual price of Xbox Live subscriptions?
People these days come up with anything to make a case against Nintendo fans. Tsk tsk.

It's like saying Xbox fans suck cause you don't know how much a GC controller costs.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #18 on:** February 16, 2004, 05:40:44 PM »

I myself generally don't know the price of something until I'm going to buy it. :\

No. It’s because most GC users don’t like online gaming only because Nintendo doesn’t have their own GC Live. You are company lover, not game lover! That’s bad! You are acting like kiddies.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2004, 06:03:04 AM »

Well, as long as you don't claim I dislike online for the same reason... I didn't like it long before I even knew the Gamecube existed.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2004, 10:31:30 AM »

I've never been into online gaming- I support Nintendo in their decision because they support me. Don't assume that just because we're not slobbering over how great XBox Live is that we're Nintendo fanboys- it's very hypocritical.

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 17, 2004, 03:10:04 PM »

Erm, have you read half my posts? I am the biggest online gamer on this forum. I play PC games, you know the versions that get downgraded and sent to xbox? Really you didn't read any posts and just posted that? Okay.
